Which window?

[Anonymous]

I am starting to look around to get some idea about replacing the very modern uPVC double glazing in my house. My house is about 110 years old, an old farmworkers cottage with a bathroom extension added at some point on the ground floor. I want to re-instate wooden windows ( I just prefer them) but I am having a little bit of a problem in that I can find no pictures that show me what the originals would be like.

Two of the downstairs windows are square, and the two upstairs and a further downstairs window are taller than they are wide. I am trying to find a style suitable for the period the house was fist built that would suit both these size frames.

So any ideas? Or pictures? Or web-sites?

(All gratefully received)

Talk to Biff, here is the link to his window page on his website contact details at the bottom. I believe him to be an expert joiner and with his knowledge on conservation and regional styles a useful ally.

Thanks Jon and here is the link that you didn't quite add!

I have a vague plan to make a collection of pictures of windows and then sort them out into some sensible order. It's a long term plan that will not be finished in a hurry but this is the start. In the meantime, Cloe99, if you could post a picture of your house with the offending uPVC, or e-mail a pic direct to me, I may be able to offer some suggestions.
